Electronic Noise

Random signals that limit measurement precision: thermal (Johnson), shot, flicker (1/f) and interference.

Advanced

Thermal noise voltage $v_n = \sqrt{4kTRB}$ — a 10 kΩ resistor gives ≈ 13 nV/√Hz at room temperature. Reduce bandwidth, use low-noise parts and shield sensitive inputs.
